Parade Gardens
Formal gardens below the Abbey on a bend of the river, with the best view of Pulteney Bridge.
A small Victorian garden on the riverbank beneath the Abbey, with flower beds, a bandstand and deckchairs in summer, and the view up the river to Pulteney Bridge and the weir. A small entry charge applies in the summer months; residents go free. The place for an ice cream on a warm afternoon.
When it works
Outdoors: pick a dry day. Best morning, afternoon, evening. Small charge in summer.
Good for kids, a date and step-free visits.
